What set is the most under appreciated and why?

I'll throw a curve out there- the R300 George C Miller set. I don't collect it,
just admire the artwork. Trent King

I agree that M101-4/5 are amazing sets and very underrated. That would probably be my #1 choice.

But, in an effort to be original, I will go with the T3 Turkey Red set. In my opinion, it is hands down the prettiest set every produced.

Another underrated set is 1953 Bowman Color.

1939 Play Ball. I know I’m in the minority, but I find beauty in the simplicity of the set: black and white photo, white border, and the player’s name and bio on the back.

Every Zeenut Set (especially the older sets) and E254 Colgan’s Chip’s

I have always liked the Polo Grounds game cards. Seems like they don’t get respect because they’re game pieces. Don’t own any. Would like to though.

I see a lot of hogwash here. All fine sets noted above as far as I’m concerned.

Under appreciated set: 1948 bowman

Why? set count only 48 cards, clean/clear images but black & white, decently populated but if it had the action packed stars & rookies of 1949 bowman it would be a whole different set.

Ugliest set of all time drumroll… 1967 Topps. Terrible design with some of the worst mugshots. come on!

1933 Tattoo Orbit. I absolutely love the color scheme and size. They are extremely visually appealing and I don't see them talked about or posted enough.

Don't be ridiculous 1967 Topps, great design, large photos, awesome colors, and the best back of any Topps issue!!!!!! I do agree though about the 48 Bowman's.

Ugliest of all time? #1 ever? After saying other views here are hogwash? Hyperbole level 100.

The 1939 Play Ball set is one of my favorite sets to collect autographed. The autograph takes care of the fact that the cards have no name on front.
